Ian challenged himself to complete the Asda Foundation Hull 10K in 2013 after he was diagnosed with cancer. Ian, 48, had to have one of his legs amputated after doctors discovered a tumour in his ankle. But he has defied his illness and come back fighting! Ian chose to raise funds for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal after being inspired by Jane’s story. Ian was given a carbon foot which has allowed him to do most things – running, however, has still been difficult. He set himself the target of finishing the race – and he achieved just that! Ian said: “I decided to raise money for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal because she was such an inspirational figure and I couldn’t think of a better cause.”
